Nicole's Guide to the Inside Passage

This little Gold Rush town is surrounded by mountains, waterfalls, and coastal wilderness — and just minutes from the cruise dock, you’ll find quiet roads and historic sites most visitors never see. Our e-bike tour is one of the easiest and most fun ways to explore it all. We’ll take you past Centennial Park, the Gold Rush Cemetery, Lower Reid Falls, and up to the City Overlook for views you won’t forget. It’s the real Skagway, not just the cruise dock. 

Juneau is surrounded by glaciers and rainforest, and it’s one of the best places on the Inside Passage for wildlife and glacier viewing. This tour combines two of the region’s most iconic experiences in one outing — you’ll spot whales, sea lions, and eagles on the water before visiting one of Alaska’s most famous glaciers. It’s the kind of day that makes people fall in love with Alaska. 

Ketchikan is known for its rich Native culture, colorful waterfront history, and deep ties to Alaska’s fishing industry. This tour takes you to Saxman Native Village to see one of the largest collections of standing totem poles in Alaska and learn about the traditions of the Tlingit people. Then you’ll head to the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show for a high-energy competition that’s pure Alaska fun. It’s culture and entertainment in one perfect afternoon. 

Sitka feels different from the other Inside Passage ports — quieter, wilder, and surrounded by forested islands and open ocean. This kayak tour takes you paddling through calm waters where sea otters, bald eagles, and sometimes even whales are commonly spotted. It’s a peaceful and unforgettable way to experience Alaska’s wildlife and scenery right from the water.
